Darth Vader

alfbadi

Hello, this is my new project. A video game Darth Vader. First I'm doing the High Poly in Maya, and the next step is to move the body to Zbrush to make wrinkles and leather.
I ask for feedback because i've never made ​​a video game character before and not know what steps I can be wrong.

Sorry about my English.

an update

GrungyStudios

Dude this is super good for your first character.. good organic modeling, nice detail and the proportions look pretty great (i wish i could do hands like that ) but im not an expert in anatomy, not much crits just came to show some support im looking forward to some more updates

Looks nice but something is missing.
Has a little "Kid Costume" feeling maybe its the unnatural stance and the lost cape. Let the shoulders sink deeper, not to straigth.

Another concept i know is the "Fighter" Typ with more muscle mass at the legs and arms.

I think some of the "Kid Costume" feeling like Grungy mentioned is from the fact that the dome on the helmet seems to be a bit too big. Other than that nice work so far, looking forwaard to seeing some more

What do you think?
This is the High definition model. Still finishing some details, like buttons which I will do in Maya, and clothes details like wrinkles and seams that i will do in Ndo.

This is my first Character model, i have some doubts about the low poly modelling.
I´v been looking some character models and i don´t know i´ve i have to separate in other geometry the fabric that starts in the waist to the geometry of the legs.

sorry guys, if you don´t matther i´ll like if you tell me the number of geometrys more or less that you will do for a next gen character.

I think its coming along, the head looks a little large which is giving him more of a 'kid' look, almost like it should be "Vader - the teen years"

Something weird is going on with the torso as well, it just looks a little 'hunched' in general.

alfbadi

ok!, the head little bit more small.

Looking good, shirt seems a bit noisy though

I think he can be slimmer. His shirt seems very puffy. I think the wrinkles should be sharper and smaller.

if you want the original costume, you'll see that it's just as loose

Hi, there are the buttons and dispositives in high poly.

What do you think for the low poly? it´s better if i model all in low poly? or should I leave the plane with a normal map?

alfbadi

And here is the helmet finished in low poly.

Are 3440 tris. I´ve made the normal maps with the maya transfer maps, and the texture in photoshop.

alfbadi

for the render i´m using the toolbag 2

Hello, I have a couple of questions about the low poly model.
Remember this is my first character modeling in poly.
I don´t know if I have to model the parts that are hidden, like the shoulders, which are under armor, or the back that will covered by the tunic and cape.

Thanks guays!

Looking pretty good man, keep it up. As far as your question it depends. As a general rule of thumb, if you are trying to conserve your poly count, you should never use polys for something that wouldn't be seen.
With that being said though, you have to be very careful if your character is going to be animated or rigged. As polygons will move around and you might be able to see holes in your mesh.
Hope that helps, welcome to the world of polys!

Hi!, there is my first color test in Marmoset. i know some colors and materials i have to change.

What do you think?

alfbadi

And this is the final model with out the cape.

Gazu

Looks very cool!
I don´t know but on the last picture he looks a little bit smaller then on the other pics ^^
Looks a bit like a child ^^

alfbadi

hehehe thanks.
That effect it´s beacause in each picture i used different focal lenght to test different results.

Great job Alfbadi, the force is strong with this one, and so is the modelling
